Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 31,928 円 to pay you 217,422 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 3.40 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 19.3% tax rate now rises to 29.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 2,609,064 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 503,481 円. That means that your net pay will be 2,105,583 円 per year, or 175,465 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 19.3% and your marginal tax rate is 23.1%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 円 in your salary will be taxed 23.12 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 76.88 円.
